The Only Reason For Being Sad

The only reason for being sad
is holding on what is worthless, 
another reason is selfishness;
joy is empty when one is bored.

Somebody should notice
how strangely you act,
putting your feelings first,
getting all the praise;
and showing no love for me,
you take the sweetness
out of each of each memory
bringing rain and unhappiness.

The only reason for being sad
is revealing the selfish person
that you are, not caring if words
hurt and make you feel good
when they should cause you pain
if they were actual thorns.

The only reason for being sad 
comes from your silliness...
that I owe you everything
even the anger you're feeling;
woman, no selfish heart can be
if it doesn't share all the joys
that the other feels and would
share with this lover who is me.
